One more "fuck the police" from page 8 and onward is going to have an all expense paid weekend to E-Disneyland. It adds nothing to the discussion and as such please refrain from making such posts in this topic and the boards in general. | ||

He got what he deserved, the only person in the whole video I feel sorry for was the protester who got half dragged away by someone else only to be put down by the police. He was not trying to resist arrest, some moron tried to pull him away. Police can definitely get out of hand themselves, there are many fantastic examples in America of just that, this wazs not one of them, I don't think most of them are caught on camera. A police officer NEVER knows how someone will react to having handcuffs put on them. Even if they appear to be willingly surrendering, it could be a trap to lure them in close and go for a quick knife-stabbing. The rule is to NEVER make assumptions and to use as much force as necessary to incapacitate them and get the handcuffs on. No matter what the act, your suspicions, your built-in stereotypes, whatever; NEVER assume that the person is willingly surrendering and that they will comply when you start to put on handcuffs. It's called common-sense, but most people interpret it as police brutality. Hence a contributing factor to this common, misinformed 'fuck the police' mentality in youth today. | ||

Should get a dance group going and dance to "Safety Dance" Is that considered as a protest, if all they do is dancing?The more general term to use would be 'demonstration'. A protest is just a type of demonstration, as is the opposite of a protest, an approval demonstration. You need a permit for that. | ||

Adam should really vs "the man" and go off to the alaskan wilderness. Anything short of that is just some punk ass kid trying to become famous while sucking the tit of society. Your post makes me laugh. Without people like Adam the government would be doing whatever they want with the media. People need to speak out, be rebellious and test the boundaries of the law so that the general public that keep an eye on the media have the knowledge of what is illegal and what is legal. Anyone could just decide to dance for any reason to dance while going through there. And have no awareness of it being illegal. Let alone illegal to record in there, if you don't seem to recall watching the end of the video if you even have. | ||

If you feel that way why don't you go devote your life to curing aids or hunger relief. See how stupid that sounds? | ||

This one does not. You really are missing the point. This isn't about Adam. Adam isn't doing this for himself. He brings people on his show all of the time, and doesn't advertise the shit out of himself in any way. You don't see him fucking yelling out his website, he is only obeying the law and trying to bring on conformity and show that the government can't do whatever they so please to do as they are in this case. The video is showcasing the ridiculous random laws in this country (America) and as an American it makes me happy to see a video like this with publicity of the VIDEO and not Adam, which may educate some people and light a flame under their asses to see that this country is falling apart and electing Obama again isn't going to do a god damn thing. | ||

Also, statements seen here and on the youtube page saying shit like "we can't dance at a memorical, hence the state is falling apart/police state/nazis etc" is fucking bullshit and fallacious. | ||

I can understand 'fighting' for your rights as a citizen, but it's completely not worth it if you are just going to do something as stupid as dancing. | ||

I can see the slippery slope already. It starts with TJ's dance party being canceled. Next up, no dancing at Lincoln's. After that, no dancing at the Eisenhower Memorial. After that, no dancing at the FDR Memorial. And after that? You better fucking believe it, no dancing at the MLK Jr. Memorial. Then, in a double header, no dancing at the Holocaust Memorial or the Teddy Roosevelt Memorial passed on the same day. Oh, and you can definitely see where this is going, no dancing at the United States Navy Memorial. And before you know it? Mussolini is raised from the dead and we invade Europe. Fucking tragic. | ||

The fact it's illegal is bullshit. in Washington state, it is ILLEGAL for a woman to have SEX even if married. Under no circumstance can a woman in Washington state ever have sex. Technically, any woman above the age of 18 is a criminal in Washington state. how's that? You got a source for that? That makes no sense and I am very skeptic of your claim because essentially what you're saying is that no one can be born in Washington state if the law was upheld. | ||

Of course its not illegal to dance. You are suggesting they were dancing there. But where they actually dancing? I think its even rhetorical to ask that.... ofc course they were not dance. But holding an lame excuse to make it "legal" what there were doing? Kinda lame when you use that to scream for attention. | ||

They are old, outdated, and never kept up with. For instance, in the state of Virginia, the only legal way to have any form of sexual contact between a male and a female is in missionary position between 2 married people on the bed, under the covers, with the lights out. This means and type of oral sex, anal, any position beyond missionary, etc... is punishable by law. If this was upheld, almost everyone i know would be thrown in jail. There are stupid laws that are often forgotten and rarely used. | ||
